Another Interesting Account Of th'
Same Game.

According TO agreement, Mr.. Martin the
manager of the Donalds base ball club took
his nine TO Anderson on last Friday to play
two games Of ball with the Anderson boys.
Rumor said that Anderson would have an
extra pitcher for the occasion that would
startle Donalds with his c3rves. Somehow
such reports awas get out, just to frlghten,
suppose. Anyway, he did not put in an ap.
pearance-only wish he had. Each game
lasted about two hours. Friday evening the
score stood 10 to 4 In favor of Donalds. One
very remarkable thing noticed was that the
fielders on the Donalds side had nothing or
very little to do, save batting and running
bases. The battery did the work. Barmore,
with his "down and OUT struck out over two
thirds OF the Anderson boys-of course Mat
tison was under the bat catching everything
that came in reach.
Anderson plays good ball, but needs prac,'
tice; they have several capital players. a
few more like the Baker boys, l dare say,
would hold any of the amateurs good game.
The visiting club received hearty welcome
and an aflectionate good-by. The Anderson
boys did everything they could to make the
visit pleasant one. We only hope that we
may be permitted to repay them for their
Kindness when they come to visit Gs. For
those who may be solicitous about il. will

counties in Georgia, are remains and remind

homegrown beef and mutton, pig and poul-
try, ETC., and the social communion OF neigh
bors, was Il pleasant spot In the history of the
summer. The old plantation dinner was real
ly given more in the interest and for the en-
jOyment Of the slaves, and the participation
of the "white-f0ks' was rather Incidental.
The more modern agricultural club dinner IS
taking the place of the former, and has rapid
ly become very popular. Even in the absence
Of a regular organization 1t Is well FOR the
neighbors for miles around throughout each
settlement, to hold these midsummer picnics:
But there ought to be regularly organized
club in every neighborhood, and these social
dinner-eatings should be feature of the reg
ular monthly programme the year round.
The women folks should have an interest In
such things. There's nothing so well calcu-
lated to draw ont the men and induce them
to attend the meetings of an agricultural club
than the presence of the ladies and something
good to cat. The segregated or ''liying apart"
condition Of farmers is n great dlnwback 10

New YORK, June '9-There has been less
disposition 10 sell the market to-day, and
values are sensibly frmer, although there
has not been any great increase in general
business, and the situation is still a very
narrow one. The dearth of news of any
importance still continues. and the volume
of trade is controlled by local speculation
and the scalping Of room-traders, who, being
generally bearish, always are ready TO raid
prices on any pretext, at the same time no
long stock seems 10 come out. The after
noon ruled very duh and quiet with hardly
